A wisdom tooth can trouble you as they grow and develop in each corner of your mouth. Even though development takes typically several years, problems often develop gradually. However, these gradual changes can cause sudden and severe pain. Understanding why wisdom teeth cause pain and several dental problems if left untreated can help you take preventive measures before they occur. The primary precautionary measure for wisdom teeth is removal, preferably at an early stage.

The wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney is affordable, and when you extract your wisdom teeth earlier, it can be removed easily and safely without any damages to surrounding tissue. Though there is no age limit on the extraction of wisdom teeth, as you get older, the removal of wisdom teeth becomes more complex, recovery takes time, and there is a high risk of complications.

Why does a wisdom tooth hurt? The wisdom teeth also called as third molars, emerge in between the ages of 17 and 21. The jawbone grows to its adult size by your late teens. Unfortunately, the jawbone size is often too small to hold developing wisdom teeth. So, when there is not enough space in the jaw-line to accommodate these wisdom teeth, they may either become impacted or partially get trapped under the gum and jawbone.

The top of the wisdom tooth may erupt or just break through the gum, or it may remain entirely within the bone. The roots of a wisdom tooth can grow in an unusual direction and may cause problems in your mouth and with your sinus cavity or the nerve in your lower jaw.

If an impacted wisdom tooth is not removed, it not only causes several dental problems but also the wisdom teeth removal cost in Sydney becomes high because it may infect other teeth roots and also causes damages to the jawbone structure which requires additional treatment.

Why is it necessary to remove wisdom teeth? Not all wisdom teeth require extractions; some are preferred because of dental problems such as swelling, decay, and infection or as a preventive measure to avoid following potential outcomes of an impacted wisdom tooth.

Infection: An impacted wisdom tooth can lead to infection because bacteria and food can be trapped under the gum tissue. The infection can cause severe pain and swelling.

Crowding: impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on the other adjacent teeth and can cause them to become misaligned.

Disease: Even though uncommon, a cyst may form in the areas surrounding impacted wisdom teeth.

Tooth decay: The teeth directly in front of the wisdom teeth can be affected by impacted wisdom teeth, resulting in gum disease, cavities and bone loss.
